June 8. 1994 - Page 19 Seaforth sewing centre has man Question: Where in Seaforth can a customer go for repairs, alter- ations, dressmaking, custom sewing, drycleaning, sewing machine repairs and to have questions answered...all under one roof? The answer is the Seaforth Sew- ing Centre. Three knowledgeable sewers (Liz Moir, Olga Smith and Colleen Lindemann) can help with most problems or questions that cus- tomers have. The wide rangeof services offered includes bridal fabric samples for the ordering of brides- maid dresses, bow ties, cummer- bunds and vests, which can all be made to order. Although the business has received custom orders from as far away as the Canadian Armed Forces Base in London, their emphasis is definitely on the local customer: "We are always bringing in new fabrics and the latest notions," says partner -manager Liz Moir. "We are bringing in more curtain and dra- pery samples and presently can order drapery hardware." The Seaforth Sewing Centre is owned by Liz Moir and Mike Hak. The business has been under the current management for the past six years but operated for seven years before that. Partner/Manager Liz Moir said she managed the dry cleaning store which did repairs and alterations for the store, and when the centre came up for sale, "it was a good oppor- tunity to combine the two busi- nesses." The sewing centre's emphasis on service is demonstrated by the hours the store is open. "Am I ever glad you're open!" is a frequent comment by customers who appreciate the fact the store is open until 9 p.m. on Friday night and until 6 p.m. from Monday to Thursday. The business is hoping to re -intro- duce shoe repairs as one of the services it offers. Seaforth Sewing Centre is located at 9 Main Street in Seaforth.
